Aaron Rowe's rise from Dublin pubs to Ed Sheeran's stadium tour

Irish singer‑songwriter Aaron Rowe spent years performing cover songs in Dublin pubs before being noticed by fellow artist Lewis Capaldi. Capaldi’s friend later became Rowe’s manager, leading to an opening slot on Capaldi’s UK and Ireland tour. Capaldi then recommended Rowe to Ed Sheeran, who invited him to open the LOOP stadium tour, where Rowe performed to audiences of up to 60,000.

Rowe, who released the EP Exodus in 2022, has also issued a new single titled “Hollywood Sign,” which reflects the tension between his rapidly expanding career and personal life commitments, including family and a recent loss in his family.
